19.0 PBEM Rules and Conventions: The following assumes that EiA is played with the help of Dale Larson’s Cyberboard pbem utility (http://www.execpc.com/~d-larson/cyberboard.html).19.1 Standard Operating Procedures: At a number of points in the course of a game according to the ordinary rules a player’s turn must be interrupted and his opponents given the option to act or not; particularly in the naval and land phases. These interruptions are extremely difficult for PBEM, since each requires an exchange of e-mail and consequently delay. The following changes to the standard and optional rules make these non-phasing actions automatic; in some cases (such as pursuit after land combat) the change makes very little difference, while in others (such as the Austrian insurrection corps) it has been necessary to alter the rules to compensate for the loss of the player’s ability to intervene during his opponent’s turn. Except where explicitly stated otherwise, the standard and optional rules remain in effect.19.1.1 Naval Phase SOP: 6.2.3 Naval Interception: Non-moving fleets always attempt to intercept any enemy fleets if the enemy fleets have fewer ships. A player may instruct a fleet he controls not to intercept; such instructions must be placed prior to the beginning of the naval phase. 6.2.5 Naval Transport: The fleet with the largest number of ships in a stack is always assumed to be transporting a corps. 6.3.2 Evasion: Fleets will always attempt to evade unless the friendly fleets have more ships than the enemy fleets. 6.3.5 Naval Retreat and Pursuit: A defeated stack of fleets always retreats to the nearest unblockaded friendly port. Choose randomly if two or more ports are eligible. If no port is eligible, the defeated fleets retreat one sea area in the direction of the nearest friendly unblockaded port. Victorious stacks of fleets never pursue. 19.1.2 Land Phase SOP: 7.5.1.1 Defender Retirement in City: Friendly corps in an area upon whom an attack is declared will always retire into a city if 1) all friendly corps in the area can be accommodated by the city’s garrison capacity, and 2) if there are fewer friendly corps in the area than enemy corps. 7.5.1.3 General Sequence of Land Combats: The order of combats is determined randomly. 7.5.2.3 Dividing an Outflanking Force: If a player fails to specify the composition of his outflanking force with his choice of tactical chit, the force is composed according to the following guidelines. An outflanking force will always consist of 1) no more than one-third, but at least one, of the total force’s regular infantry corps, and 2) one cavalry corps, if the total force has more than one. Within these guidelines, the actual corps making up the outflanking force are chosen randomly. E.g. A Russian army which has chosen outflank consists of the guard, eight infantry, and three cavalry corps; two randomly-selected the infantry corps and one of the cavalry corps form the outflanking force. 7.5.2.8 Guard and Artillery Use: Artillery is always used prior to each round of combat. An opponent with a guard corps present in a combat should be consulted between rounds of combat to determine whether he wishes to commit his guard. 7.5.2.10.2 Pursuit after Combat: Victorious forces always pursue. 7.5.2.10.3 Retreat after Losing a Combat: If two or more land areas are equally close to the nearest depot (or national capital) one is selected randomly. 7.5.2.11 Reinforcing Attempts: Forces eligible to reinforce a combat (including unbesieged corps, cossacks, freikorps and guerrillas in a city in the same area) always attempt to do so. 7.5.4.1.2.1 Sortie: Defenders always sortie, unless the defending garrison consists of only one army factor. 7.5.4.1.2.3.1 Honors of War: The defender (unless Turkish or Spanish) always asks for “honors of war”. 10.1.2.2.3 Cossacks and Freikorps: eligible cossacks/freikorps always retreat before combat. 10.1.4.1 Placing Austrian Insurrection Corps: Insurrection corps may only be placed on the map at the conclusion of an enemy land movement step. When enemy movement into a border province triggers a possible insurrection corps placement, the enemy player turn should be interrupted between the movement and supply steps to give the Austrian player an opportunity to place the insurrection corps. 10.1.4.1.4: Insurrection corps may move during the turn they are placed on the map. If the Austrian player-turn has already occurred when insurrection corps are placed, a separate land phase is inserted after the enemy guerrilla step, conducted by the Austrian player according to all standard rules except that only the insurrection corps just placed may move, declare attacks, or besiege. After the completion of this special insurrection corps land phase, the ordinary sequence of play is resumed. 10.6.1.1 Determining a Commander: Among leaders of different nationality equally eligible (because of equal number of corps) to be a force commander, seniority is used to break ties; failing seniority, the commander is determined randomly. 12.3.7.4 Reaction Moves: Not used in PBEM games.Hence, the standard land phase sequence needs to be interrupted by an e-mail to an opponent only to determine:Prior to resolving combats, which operational possibilities chit the opponent will select for each combat (and if he will outflank, what the force compositions will be). Prior to each combat round, whether the opponent will commit the guard (if an opponent’s force includes a guard corps). After resolving one “day” of combat (if neither side “broke”), whether an opponent will fight additional “days” of combat. After achieving a breach and denying honors of war, whether an opponent’s garrison will surrender. 19.2 Replacing players: It is an unfortunate reality that in relatively complex and long multi-player games like EiA, players will sometimes drop out of the game. Rather than place the game on hold while a replacement is found, it seems preferable that the major power revert to UMP status. However, since it is frustrating to have a carefully-constructed plan foiled by a replacement player’s diplomatic volte-face, the replacement’s freedom of action needs to be temporarily restricted. 19.2.1: When a player leaves the game, his Major Power becomes an UMP. The sequence of play is interrupted and control of the UMP determined immediately and normally (i.e. per 14.3.1), with the exception that the UMP is always active until the next UMP Control Step, even if the highest overture die-roll is less than 10. 19.2.2: At the discretion of the referee, a new player may be found for the major power. Although a new player is free to involve himself in negotiations and other game matters immediately, he actually takes control of his major power at the beginning of the next Economic Phase, until which time the major power remains an UMP under its controlling Power. Having taken control, the new player is free to make all decisions for his major power, except that any formal alliance he “inherits” may not be broken until three turns after the turn in which he takes control. Example: Prior to his land movement phase of May 1806, the old British player leaves the game. At that moment, Britain has no alliances with other major powers. The referee immediately conducts a UMP Control Step for Britain, resulting in Russia acquiring Britain as an active UMP. Russia controls Britain through the remainder of the May turn as well as the June turn up to the beginning of the June Econ. Phase; in the June Diplomatic Phase, Russia decides to ally with Britain (which is possible since Britain is an active UMP). Meanwhile, the referee finds a replacement player, who takes control of Britain at the beginning of the Econ. Phase; however since Britain and Russia are now allied, the new British player may not break that alliance until Sept. 1806. In all other respects the new British player is free to make all decisions for Britain, in accordance with the rules.
8.1.3.2.3.4 National Objectives Charts: An asterisk (*) in the tables below indicates a multi-district minor or new political combination which must be created to earn the VPs. Provinces or minors which are listed individually may be incorporated in new political combinations or multi-district minors, as long as they are controlled by the major power. The “UMP” column lists modifiers used with the procedure for determining control of UMPs (14.3.1.2), indicating the modifier to the overture die-roll for ceding a province or minor to that power or by controlling a crucial territory causing the UMP to lose a VP penalty; numbers in parentheses in the Cession column are subtracted from the UMP overture roll of the power which controls the territory (e.g. if France has created and controls the Kingdom of Italy, -2 is subtracted from a French overture roll for Austria). In some cases, a note indicates the overture modifier if a constituent province is ceded instead of the entire new political combination.
